The score IS one of the best John Williams ever composed. But it's most disturbing to me, that Duel Of Fates got lyrics but I can't sing, when I'm listening to the soundtrack!!!
I MUST have the lyrics to that song! Does anybody know, where I can find them???

Lyrics for Qui-Gon's Funeral and Augie's Municipal band are also in that book.

then, also, furthermore, the song "duel of fates" you can tell is taken partially from Carl Orff's Carmina Burana, which deals an awful lot with fate.
"fate, monstrous and empty".
you may want to read the lyrics to carmina burana for further insight (or, listen to it which i highty reccomend.)

Accually, the lyrics to the famous deul of the fates is a line from "The Battle of the Trees" as is translated into sandscrit. The original poem was in celtic, and in the 50s or 60s was translated into english by a poet named Robert Graves. The line that Williams translated was

"Under the tongue root a fight most dread,
and another raging, behind, in the head."

the entire poem is as follows;

The Battle of the Trees

translated by Robert Graves

The tops of the beech tree have sprouted of late,
are changed and renewed from their withered state.

When the beech prospers, though spells and litanies
the oak tops entangle, there is hope for trees.

I have plundered the fern, through all secrets I spy,
Old Math ap Mathonwy knew no more than I.

For with nine sorts of faculty God has gifted me,
I am fruit of fruits gathered from nine sorts of tree -

Robert Graves was not a poet, though he did translate several poems. He wrote the books I Claudius and Claudius the God as semi-fictional histories of the Roman Imperial Family of the first century BCE. Sorry about the rant.

Like my lyrics to this song is
Qui-Gon Qui-Gon Qui-Gon Darth-maul
Qui-Gon Qui-Gon Qui-Gon Darth-Maul
Qui-Go~~n Darth Maul
and it keeps on going like that :P

it all means: "Under the tongue root a fight most dread, and another raging behind, in the head."the lyrics literally mean this:
(Khara = dreadful, Matha = head, Rath = speak, Amah = give)They are singing in Sanskrit, but they are supposedly singing a Celtic poem called "Cad Goddeu"

Don't believe me? complete proof and George Lucas said that it was true as well...
YAY for an 18 yr old girl that's gone to comic-con for the past 6yrs:D
